We hear plenty of the negative, I say we get some positive! Happy moments, big accomplishments, neat things you've seen or done.

:D

My happy moment:

I got a thank you card from the family of a wonderful patient I took care of last semester. They went through the hospital, the school, and three instructors to track down my address. Its a nice feeling that in a bumbling, student-y way, I gave their family member good enough care that they went through all that trouble to say "thanks."

Congratulations to you, and remember.. the feelings evoked from the best parts highly outweigh the frustration evoked from the not so great parts.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have posted on here, because I'm starting nursing school in a little over a month from now and it makes me feel positive knowing it's not ALL bad! I look forward to school, and I hope I can stay positive throughout the program. You all have given me HOPE! Thanks!

-finally understanding how to care for patients

- Hearing patients tell me "you're going to be a great nurse".

- Having instructors tell me during evals that I am looked to as a teacher/resource on the floor.

- Knowing that this is my calling, and that I LOVE what I do!
